:Did you know that you can build a "hypertelescope" using a huge array of spacecraft moving in formation? It could be powerful enough to resolve surface features on exoplanets.
:We could do this today if we were willing to spend insane money on it. Plausibly it'll be easy in a century or two.
:If any alien civilization exists within 100,000 light years or so, and they're technologically ahead of us by a few centuries, they will one day see our continents.
:/
:If they look at earth night, they'll see borders, especially where very poor countries abut very rich ones, like with the korean peninsula.
:Earth has war, poverty, territoriality, and we are broadcasting this information in every direction all day long
:What's your point?
:Are you familiar with the fermi paradox?
